    Drink menu
    Bill V.

    Great service, very nice and clean restaurant. The food was good, but I was expecting a little more kick! A little more spice! But nonetheless it was a good lunch. The tamale was the star of the show. Followed by the chips.

    Nice clean and open space.  Love this location

    This is a newer restaurant by ASU and is located in the perfect location steps away from Tempe Improv. I'd much rather go to this location since it's newer, cleaner, and the seating is spacious, compared to the older locations that are outdated! A special shout out to PHOENIX our waiter/bartender who took care of us the entire time! We had the mix and match meals where I had enchiladas. The food was good but they ran out of things which was a little disappointing! They ran out of spinach in which, I wanted spinach enchiladas and they also ran out of something that they used to make a Moscow mule which as an adult grownup, I wanted since this was my social drinking weekend! I enjoy a good cold Moscow Mule. I settled for baja chicken enchiladas and a rum and coke. I can not believe how much drinking I've done as a grownup this weekend. Nothing crazy but having drinks with my meals is a huge deal for me! In any case, I will definitely come here again, as it's the perfect spot to go before attending a comedy show which is steps away from here! Phoenix did amazing and deserves 5 months off with pay. Phoenix has a wonderful spirit and awesome customer service! There's plenty of parking onsite!

    Spiciest margarita

    All I wanted was a spicy margarita and Naiis made it happen The vibe is good and Naiis was a one-woman rockstar show behind the bar. Definitely coming back for these spicy margs and tacos

    Absolutely terrible, it's $10 for a lunch taco plate. ONE! Taco. R&B Add tea $3.79 Weak as all I hope you take warning ‼

    When we get to this side of our lovely valley, Macayo's calls our appetites. We often stop by. The family has dined with the brand since it opened. The two gray-haired beauties I dine with were once cute three year old girls with sparkling eyes, big smiles and twin pony tails sitting up to their chins at the table, crunching on chips dipped slightly in the mild salsa. Tacos and enchiladas are our order of the day plus a dish of the hotter salsa. Service takes care of us, even if we are unknowns. I enjoy the chicken pompano, spinach enchiladas and other "off the taco and enchilada" side of the menu. The beans and rice are satisfying. No complaints. We shall return

    Free margarita mug opening day

    This is opening day of the new restaurant. They moved just down the street. I was greeted at the door. I was given a mug and a free t-shirt. I was seated and hostess brought water, chips and salsa. There was only a couple other tables at this time. There were more employees than customers. I waited 10 mins no one came to take my order. A employee was walking by and said how is everything. I said I'd like to order. I started with a app. It took about 12 mins for these fried tamale bites. Service was so slow i did not order anything else. A manager stopped by to ask what I thought and I was honest. Service needed a lot of improvement but I understood it was opening day. He said it was shift change and they were confused who had my table. I decided I was already there 45 mins I was done. I asked the waiter for my check. I noticed they did not give me happy hour price. The waiter was no where to be found. I saw the manager again and told him. I had to show him the menu and correct price. He apologized and said he would fix it. After 10 more mins this manager disappeared and still no waiter. I stopped another manager he said he would look for the other one. He finally came back said manager got side tracked and started a meeting with all the waitstaff. So he said he would try to find someone to fix it. So after another 10 mins the original waiter brought the correct check. I would have given 4 stars because of opening day but 2 managers dropped the ball besides the waitstaff. I will try again in maybe a month.

    No hot tea here but the room is chill. The service a bit slow but eventually they get it done.

Since we were planning the event from out of town, having a team we could trust was incredibly important -- and Bailey and the entire staff handled everything flawlessly. Even the decorations were set up beautifully and exactly as we had hoped. The food was excellent, the staff was friendly and attentive, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. A special thank you to Bailey, the Event Coordinator, who was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. She was organized, responsive, and made everything feel easy and stress-free leading up to the event and the night of the dinner. The highlight was definitely the Rafter Room -- it was even more impressive in person than in the pictures. The space had a great atmosphere for a rehearsal dinner and made the evening feel really special for our family and guests. Highly recommend The Social Hall for anyone looking to host a private event in Tempe.

The issue wasn't the food or atmosphere, but how the situation was handled once a conflict arose. As a visibly queer patron with mobility considerations, this raised concerns about how long-stay customers are treated, particularly when accessibility and inclusion are part of the venue's public messaging. This was a situation that could have been resolved with clearer communication and basic service recovery (including acknowledgment or compensation for the disruption). Instead, it left me feeling dismissed. I've documented the full experience, including accessibility observations, for anyone who wants additional context.
